In the middle looms a period Nin describes as \"hell,\" during which she experiences a kind of erotic madness, a delirium that fuels her search for love. As a child suffering abandonment by her father, Anaïs wrote, \"Close your eyes to the ugly things,\" and, against a horrifying backdrop of war and death, Nin combats the world's darkness with her own search for light.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMirages\u003c\/i\u003e collects, for the first time, the story that was cut from all of Nin's other published diaries, particularly volumes 3 and 4 of \u003ci\u003eThe Diary of Anaïs Nin, \u003c\/i\u003e which cover the same time period.

Just how troubled was her marriage to Hugh Guiler? What is the story behind Nin's \"children,\" the effeminate young men she seemed to collect at will? \u003ci\u003eMirages\u003c\/i\u003e is a deeply personal story of heartbreak, despair, desperation, carnage, and deep mourning, but it is also one of courage, persistence, evolution, and redemption that reaches beyond the personal to the universal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnaïs Nin\u003c\/b\u003e (1903-1977) is an iconic literary figure and one of the most notable experimental writers of the twentieth century.
